Amazing. Could this administration be off to a worse start?

Two weeks in and ‘hope’ is already by the boards. Faced with his first real political challenge – trying to get the scheme-ulous/stimu-less/porkulous/crap sandwich passed – Obama has turned to the liberal fear-mongering playbook.

Indeed, Obama actually had the gall to say that if we don’t pass this fraud of a bill the damage to the economy could be ‘IRREVERSIBLE.’

President Barack Obama warned on Thursday that failure to act on an economic recovery package could plunge the nation into a long-lasting recession that might prove irreversible, a fresh call to a recalcitrant Congress to move quickly.

In an op-ed piece in The Washington Post, the president argued that each day without his stimulus package, Americans lose more jobs, savings and homes. His message came as congressional leaders struggle to control the huge stimulus bill that’s been growing larger by the day in the Senate. The addition of a new tax break for homebuyers Wednesday evening sent the price tag well past $900 billion.

Senate Democratic leaders hope for passage of the legislation by Friday at the latest, although prospects appear to hinge on crafting a series of spending reductions that would make the bill more palatable to centrists in both parties.

Obama painted a bleak picture if lawmakers do nothing.

“This recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse,” Obama wrote in the newspaper piece titled, “The Action Americans Need.”

He rejected the argument that more tax cuts are needed in the plan and that piecemeal measures would be sufficient, arguing that Americans made their intentions clear in the election.

“I reject these theories, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change,” he wrote.

Are you reading into this? This man is incredibly arrogant. He really thinks he has a mandate for his socialist policies. Come hell or high water he’s going to force his bad medicine down our throats.

I have feared that Baracky was destined for 2 terms, but for the first time I think he is starting down the road to a failed 1-term Presidency.
